Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead a cross-functional team of software engineers and operations research specialists to build decision-support products for disruption and crew optimization. You will own the technical direction, architecture, and delivery of scalable services while partnering with product and operations stakeholders.
Requires proven experience leading software engineering teams in production-grade systems, specifically involving solver technology like Gurobi or CPLEX. Candidates must possess strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to translate complex operational problems into mathematical optimization solutions.
Lead Software Engineer - Optimization Engineering
We are easyJet – a FTSE-250 listed, £multi-billion low-cost airline that serves tens of millions of customers every single year. If you’re reading this, you have probably already been an easyJet customer, and you’ll know that there is no more iconic (or Orange!) travel brand in Europe.
We fly more than 1,207 routes, connecting 38 countries across Europe, and employ more than 18,000 colleagues. We’re on a mission to make low-cost travel easy – and whatever your role here, you’ll connect millions of people to what they love using Europe’s best airline network, great value fares, and friendly service.
What makes us easyJet? Our Promise Behaviours – we are Safe, Bold, Welcoming and Challenging. Four Behaviours. One Spirit. One easyJet.
Role summary
Lead an optimisation engineering team building decision-support products that solve complex disruption-management and crew/roster optimisation challenges. You’ll translate operational problems into scalable software and optimisation solutions, partnering closely with product, data/operations research (OR), and customer stakeholders. The role blends people leadership with hands-on technical direction across architecture, delivery, quality, and reliability.
· Lead, coach, and grow a cross-functional team of software engineers (and closely partnered OR/data science specialists)
· Own technical direction and delivery for products that model, optimise, and operationalise solutions to disruption and crewing problems (e.g., recovery planning, re-optimisation, what-if analysis).
· Drive architecture and design decisions for services, APIs, data pipelines, and user-facing workflows that support optimisation at scale.
· Partner with product management to shape roadmap, break down ambiguous problem statements, and define measurable outcomes and acceptance criteria.
· Collaborate with OR/optimisation experts to integrate solvers (e.g., Gurobi) and ensure model performance, correctness, explainability, and maintainability.
· Establish strong engineering practices: code review, automated testing, CI/CD, release management, incident response, and post-incident learning.
· Build observability into optimisation services (KPIs, logs, traces) and manage performance tuning (latency, throughput, cost) across environments.
· Contribute hands-on when needed (prototyping, critical-path coding, reviews), while primarily enabling the team to deliver consistently.
· Proven experience leading a software engineering team delivering production-grade systems (people leadership and/or strong technical leadership), that encompass solver technology (like CPLEX or Gurobi).
· Strong software engineering fundamentals: system design, distributed systems concepts, APIs, data modelling, testing, and operational excellence.
· Experience building optimisation, scheduling, or decision-support applications, or closely related domains requiring complex constraint-based reasoning.
· Working knowledge of mathematical optimisation concepts (e.g., MILP, constraint programming, heuristics/metaheuristics) and how they impact product design.
· Hands-on programming experience in one or more mainstream languages (e.g., Python, Java, C#, C++), with the ability to review and guide code quality.
· Experience integrating and operating optimisation components (e.g., solver orchestration, model/service boundaries, runtime configuration, fallbacks).
· Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and to translate operational needs into engineering deliverables.
· Deep experience with commercial optimisation solvers (e.g., Gurobi), including parameter tuning, licensing/packaging considerations, and performance troubleshooting.
· Experience in airline/rail/transport operations, logistics, workforce management, or similar disruption/crew scheduling environments.
· Familiarity with simulation and scenario generation to support what-if analysis and resilience planning.
· Experience designing human-in-the-loop decision tools (explainability, constraints override, auditability, and traceable recommendations).
· Cloud platform experience (Azure/AWS/GCP) and building secure, scalable services.
· Experience with event-driven architectures, streaming, and near-real-time optimisation.
· Experience with data science/ML components that complement optimisation (forecasting, demand estimation, delay prediction).
· Languages: Python and/or Java/C#/C++ (based on team stack).
· Services: REST/gRPC APIs, microservices and/or modular monoliths, asynchronous job orchestration.
· Data: SQL, data pipelines/ETL/ELT, caching strategies, data quality checks, reproducible inputs/outputs.
· DevOps: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containerisation (e.g., Docker), monitoring/alerting, incident management.
· Quality: unit/integration tests, performance tests, model validation frameworks, feature flags.
